The Committee of Human Rights of the House of Representatives’ onsite hearing tomorrow (November 8) will prove that there are many more Palparans, said Bayan Muna Representative Neri Colmenares. “This will refute the statement of General (Emmanuel) Bautista of the Armed Forces of the Philippines that Palparan is the last of his kind.

More on HR allegations coming from CPP fronts that will be aired in congressional HR hearing. Looks they will attempt to include the U.S. military in their propaganda attacks.
